Simple build for the Temarai gimbal.

A quick 1.5 hour build on this air frame (not including the electronics) . No foil shapes, just a few pieces of 50mm foam strapped together with duct tape and hot melt glue. More just to prove that I could get an unfoiled rectangle to fly with Temarai mounted on it. The point has been proven. I’ll go back to a foiled shape on the next build as the drag and performance loss is noticeable less than a dream to fly.

In this test sequence it is obvious that more ballast could be added to the nose to stop the extreme pitching. This was done and it worked, however the extra airspeed needed to carry the extra mass was not wanted at this point in time. Thus it was removed and the pitching persisted with.
